multicultural europe takes another battery. and it looks some it took someone building but chechnya is ready for a friendly football match with brazilian sports stars as they bring their world class skills to the once a volatile republican. russia scrambles to keep its tiger population alive a nationwide effort to stop more stimulus to extinction. but next a leading global peace acts are gives his insight about the arab world's turbulence and the international role in stabilizing and. on the heels of the regime change in tunisia it came popular protest movements throughout the region but more of a sense other events making headlines joining me is deputy director of the russia and eurasia center at the carnegie endowment and matthew with johns hello thank you

very much for joining us there are so how do you view these paul worship the great and middle east well i think it remains to be seen how much power actually shifts but what we know is that some of the longstanding authoritarian regimes in the middle east are probably going to change in some way but whether they're replaced by the very same military that has been supporting all along whether another strongman comes into power to replace mubarak in egypt for example or gadhafi in libya we can't really say at this point but it looks like a civil war in libya and that's very difficult to predict what will happen so i think a power shift maybe is not necessarily in the works and definitely great changes and it's very difficult i think to predict well some speculate that the least awakening was all constrained by washington itself what are your thoughts about that i certainly am not a believer in conspiracy theories i think it's fine when you listen to people who

believe in these theories it makes the united states sound like the most effective global actor in history and i just frankly don't believe that that's possible but what i will say is i think it is probably the case has in many changes of power throughout history that the united states and others have helped to create an environment in which you know those who are coming out on the streets in libya and egypt in tunisia you know feel that they have some international support to be totally honest if you look at the slogans that those people are using they're not exactly pro western pro-american slogans there's a lot of kind of you know anti-americanism anti israel feeling i don't think they generally view themselves as being aligned with the american camp. they're mostly aligned with their own interests but it is probably true that the united states by talking about values like freedom and you know getting rid of authoritarianism and so on is probably helped to create an atmosphere in which they feel like at least they're not alone in the world to what extent was the u.s.

scored flat food is about. it's a good question i think. i think there are a lot of people in washington i know a lot of people in washington who have been saying this is going to happen for a long time and we need to be prepared for it. i don't think anybody expected it on the scale that it's happened. it's almost interesting how after each one you know after tunisia or after egypt after libya everybody seems to say well this is it stops here you know the monarchs are safe maybe the dictators will go but the kings will stay and as i said before i don't think anyone can predict this i think this is a very fluid situation that was it's going to keep changing when everything is said and done when the dust settles who is the biggest. in the region. translation does this help iran for example does this help you know turkey i think the answer is probably yes this is helpful to you know any regime which has managed to stay in power despite this kind of disorder in the streets. at the

same time it is possible you can you can imagine a scenario where egypt for example despite having endured a transition period it is a very big it is economically significant it is a historical leader in the arab world you could imagine it coming out of this scenario actually strengthened in some ways maybe being a leader of a new block within the middle east a sort of new organization of you know more popular democracies or just more popular you know government so i can see that happening where will this leave us and israel policy in the region well you know israel has played a very careful hand certainly and with the events in egypt they're very concerned about the durability of the peace treaty which is really. central to who has real security so that they don't have to fight you know multiple fronts at once and he united states of course is fully supportive of that perspective there have been those who call for now being the time to reinvigorate the peace process the israeli

palestinian peace process and the broader israeli arab peace process i think the unfortunate reality is that the peace process never succeeds when it is driven by urgency from the outside the peace process only succeeds when the parties on the inside have that feeling of urgency that they need to make progress which is why it succeeded in the late one nine hundred eighty s. and early one nine hundred ninety s. and then it didn't succeed in the past decade because the parties were in some sense satisfied with where the situation was so i think for example if at this point you know the israelis feel safer just sort of barricaded themselves in and protecting themselves it's not a time when they're going to be willing to make big sacrifices for peace and on the palestinian side you know hamas for example may feel like it's time has come now there are popular uprisings in the streets and it's time for you know it would be islamic fundamentalist movement to take advantage of that so why on earth would they allow their palestinian authority colleagues of course are not part of a mosque but why would they allow them to negotiate they will do things to torpedo those negotiations do you think also does the right thing to engage hamas in talks

. look i mean i can't tell the russian government what the right thing to do or not for russia would be i mean i would say from the overall perspective of the middle east situation it's useful to have somebody who is able to sort of the question is of course what he said and i think that's where you know russia and united states and israel and in particular actually i would say russia and israel i mean this is a time when you have a million plus russian speakers in israel including i figure lieberman foreign minister. we should have a much more substantial dialogue on peace process on security issues so that russia can use the influence that it has more effectively to deliver you know real results that are going to benefit everyone. sure we're at a point like that right now but that said you know i don't i don't see any great benefit to russia kind of closing the door on its connections in the arab world i think they're potentially very useful was written extensively on the so-called

values gap in u.s. watching relations what do you mean here well this is a term i'm not the first person to invent this term it's the idea that basically we see eye to eye of the united states and russia on many many issues economic issues security issues i mean the list goes on nuclear security but there's often this kind of underlying problem which is we come to the same conclusions for very different reasons so russian leaders tend to for example think about a sort of reality polity checks came in the world where there are a series of influence the united states controls some things russia controls some things trying to control some things you know the united states has a very different ideological approach to the very same questions of politics which is very much about well you know our country is moving towards greater freedom our countries you know prospering economically people have freedom to participate in the market and so on and that's really a fundamentally different approach to at the end of the day very important questions for both sides and then there's also the domestic side of it which is

that americans react very badly to the media coverage that they see of russia where you know people who want to protest are not given the right to protest you know there is not effective political opposition you know they hear about restrictions on freedom of speech and you know lack of access to effective legal process seems you know to protect private property and so on and then of course corruption like these are all things that americans react extremely badly to not because there isn't some of this sometimes in the united states and if there isn't some of this and many other countries around the world it's just it makes it very hard for us to behave like full partners when we don't see eye to eye on these kind of basic domestic issues as well you're saying that the u.s. and russia are it's a once over domestic policy it's. but in the light of the nine thousand civilians killed in afghanistan since two thousand and one just recently nine boys under the age of twelve killed by u.s. helicopter gun fire in afghanistan and millions of russians who cannot get higher weight can appreciate that such

a turn can prove counterproductive in russia. i think actually afghanistan is a good example of where the united states and russia have almost completely shared interests in the following sense i think russia has a clear interest in stopping the flow of heroin out of afghanistan and stopping the spread of islamic fundamentalism into other central asian countries which as we know we saw in kyrgyzstan those are not stable governments so they're very vulnerable and i think the united states clearly has an interest in succeeding in our counterinsurgency operation to prevent future nine eleven attacks and that's basically what the afghan invasion was about i don't think those two interests are inconsistent i think they are one hundred percent consistent and the best example of that was this far as far as i know for the first time we saw a joint us russian operation on the ground special narcotics officers and special forces attacked a pack border region heroin lab and seized tons of illegal drugs that would have

ended up in russia in europe you know harming people does the difference in interpretation and start a missile defense will this work. i don't think it's going to torpedo everything i think it's it's possible that the parties will not move quickly enough or will not be flexible enough if they come to an agreement on missile defense before the threat is so real that both sides move forward and if that happens it may be too late to abort so i don't think i'll be going to the world but there's no question that it will make it harder to have established a level of trust that will be necessary to do other things like for example have an agreement on tactical nuclear weapons these are sure. range battlefield nuclear weapons that both the russian side and the nato side still have deployed in europe you know twenty years after the end of the cold war something we've probably got to deal with dealing with the frozen conflicts all of these things are sort of they

require the sides to move together in lockstep and that requires trust you know who's going to move first because each side can sit and wait and say well you take care of your side of this and then we'll do our stuff but it requires trust and i think missile defense is clearly the first step if we can get that right then i think the level of trust between our two security establishments goes way up and so in john's case hillary clinton recently made a strong statement she's sad the u.s. is losing the information war it's international media outlets naming our team of other women does this mean that the u.s. is officially engaged in a media war with the rest of the wall. i certainly hope not i mean my my sense of it is you know it's true that the kind of traditional state media worldwide are actually enduring a big challenge from the likes of twitter facebook you know people have ways of sharing information now that do not require going through any kind of official channels that's the biggest challenge you know whether there's an information war at the level of kind of state supported media between the voice of america and

russia today you know whatever you know media services china has you know i think this is almost beside the point because the reality is your average citizen knows where the information is coming from so if they want to listen to a russian perspective they can listen to it they want to listen to an american perspective they can listen to it but mostly i think what citizens want to listen to because i want to listen to each other and that's why they're using these sort of social networking tools and i don't view that as a threat i view that is basically a positive thing but of course you want to make sure that in the long run everybody has kind of equal access to it because you don't want to have a class of people that has access to information and a class of people who live in the shadows and don't have access to information from outside a proud of the u.s. secretary of state friends are. struct safe thank you very much mr and for insights . hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get
